Pujols talks managerial pursuit, kids sports in wide-ranging interview
Pujols said he is open to a major league managing job after winning a Dominican Winter League title and promoting colorectal cancer screening.
During a Bleacher Report interview, MLB legend Albert Pujols discussed his World Series predictions, his desire to manage in the majors, and his post-retirement life, emphasizing his continued connection to the game.
Pujols spent 23 years in the majors, securing two World Series titles with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006 and 2011 while amassing 703 career home runs as a three-time MVP and 11-time All-Star.
The 46-year-old Pujols, a father of five, emphasizes supporting his children's sports endeavors without pressure, drawing from his own experience playing under his father's guidance while reflecting on fatherhood.
For the 'Mind Your Behind' campaign, Pujols recently partnered with Cologuard, encouraging colorectal cancer screening for adults 45 and older, noting that 60 million people remain unscreened or outdated on their testing.
Comparing the San Diego Padres to his 2011 Cardinals team, Pujols told Bleacher Report he expects them to win the championship, citing their momentum during the recent postseason run.
